Binna Burra Lodge

Binna Burra Lodge is under one hour's drive from the Gold Coast and just 90 minutes from Brisbane, the rainforest of Lamington National Park sprawls like a rich emerald carpet across the spurs and valleys of the McPherson Ranges.

Locals say that there is a spirit which dwells in these mountains and forests - a spirit which has captivated thousands of people from all over the world since the area was first opened up in the early part of this century. Let nature weave it's magic and be rejuvenated amidst the lush rainforest of world heritage listed Lamington National Park. Binna Burra Lodge has been welcoming guests since the early 1930s and while the cabins have been updated with modern amenities, there are no phones, clocks, radios or television to intrude on the serenity.

The Sky Lodges are a modern alternate to the traditional Mountain Lodge and provide luxury self-contained accommodation with breathtaking views across the Numinbah and Coomera Valleys.

Spend your precious "me" time at Binna Burra in a rainforest setting and renew your health and well being.

One of the older, family friendly hotels in Queensland, the Veresdale, or the 'V' Hotel as it is now affectionately known, was sold privately in November, 2010. Since that time it has been tastefully renovated in keeping with the best attributes of the friendly Hotel atmosphere.
The Veresdale Hotel is located on the Mount Lindsay Highway approximately half-way between Jimboomba and Beaudesert. It is situated right in the heart of Queensland's richest dairy, beef and horse stud area, with the very best of the state's thoroughbred racing horse studs.
The Hotel may look a little small from the outside, but once indoors you have access to their beautiful outdoor dining areas, where the pastoral view is quite spectacular. Don't forget they have a stylish gazebo for that special luncheon or dinner.
In their new modern kitchen, chefs produce fine food from their Bar and Grill and offer an array of great cuisine specials. Families with children are welcome at the Veresdale Hotel and can either dine outside or in their fully renovated and air-conditioned restaurant which offers an inviting, relaxed atmosphere, typical of the friendly Hotel tradition.
